                    [Summary] => Hip-hop fans gathered across town at the CCP Open Grounds, swinging to the beat of the Black Eyed Peas. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers flocked to the Araneta Coliseum to watch popular British rock band The Searchers in a two-hour show that was less frenetic but not less lively. It was like Manila was split down the middle that night of May 29. The Black Eyed Peas held court on one end, and The Searchers on the other. They played to completely divergent crowds.

In 1964, Paul McCartney attempted to recruit the Searchers for Brian Epstein’s North End Music Stores (NEMS) stable but the Liverpool band refused to play second fiddle to the Beatles.  The bait was an offer for the Searchers to record an original Lennon-McCartney song, Things We Said Today.

In 1966, the Searchers took Manila by storm and played to  packed crowds at the Araneta Coliseum in a week-long concert tour.  The  passage of time has hardly mattered to the Searchers as the band continues to perform in gigs all over the world.
